At 23.31 hours on 31 January 1942, U-125 fired a salvo of four torpedoes at the convoy SL-98 and observed two hits and a large explosion. Schuch thought that he had hit an ammunition freighter, but in fact it was HMS Culver (Lt.Cdr. Randal Thomas Gordon-Duff, RN) that had blown up in position 48º43'N, 20º14'W with the loss of the commanding officer, seven officers and 118 ratings.
